EFT at Work: Bringing EFT to Corporations – Part 1
“We look for ways to engage in sincere and professional discussions that are focused on delivering maximum benefits. Our focus is on serving our clients’ needs…”
Elaine’s Gift
“This experience with Elaine, my friend’s cat, gave me a reason to pursue my goal, so that’s why I call it Elaine’s gift. At the end of this story you will see that I wasn’t the only one to receive a gift!”
Acknowledging Grief Brings Emotional and Physical Relief
“Jackie then realized how hard she had been on herself, that she had been judging herself for missing that connection with her mother after all these years. She then realized that she expects a lot of herself in general. This was quite revelatory to her and she was able to see how that tendency plays out in other areas of her life.”
Tapping for Ziggy
“Simply tapping on ourselves and voicing what we think the animal may be feeling can often have amazing results. It is wonderful to have such a gentle way to help relieve stress and restore calm, good feelings for our animal friends.”
Breaking through Food Cravings with Tapping
“What finally shifted the cravings (and so far they haven’t returned!) was total acceptance of the fact that I wanted the foods.”
EFT and the Law of Attraction – the Incremental Approach to Abundance
“In our experience, the ‘flash in the pan’ success that some see with EFT is a wonderful starting point. However, huge sustained success for most EFTers is best fostered by taking a step-by-step approach.”
Creative EFT with Children
“Now the children are all familiar with tapping so that if she needs to calm a child, she can guide them by saying, ‘Let’s tap again to get rid of that anger so you can have a peaceful day.’”
How to Tap:
From Feeling Bad to Feeling Better...
Adapted from The EFT Free Manual
Please Note: Before trying EFT, you agree to take full responsibility for your wellbeing, and for your exploration of these techniques.
1. Notice something specific that is bothering you. It might be a feeling in your body (tension headache, tight chest, heavy heart, etc.) or a specific thought or negative emotion in your head (angry about my friend, overwhelmed by work, my horrible boss). For the sake of this exercise, lets name your bothersome issue "this stress." Now rate the intensity on a scale of 0-10. How intense is this particular stress?
2. Do the EFT Setup. To perform the Setup, tap on the Karate Chop point (outside edge of hand, fig. 1) and repeat the following phrase three times:
Even though I have this stress, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.
3. Tap through the Sequence (figs. 3 and 4, several times on each point) while repeating the words "this stress..."
4. Pause to notice the effects of the tapping. Give yourself a moment to think about what has been bothering you. How intense is what you have been calling "this stress?" Has the number changed? What number would you give the intensity now?
5. Repeat the tapping process again. The second time around, we often change the wording a little:
Even though I still have some of this stress, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway
6. Exhale the words "this stress..." as you tap on each point, tapping until your intensity subsides substantially and you feel better. Repeat the whole process if necessary, until the emotional intensity is as low as it will go.
Is the problem still bothering you in the same way? You may feel a lightness or a distance from the problem that you had not previously felt. Notice the changes you have been through, and congratulate yourself. You have just given yourself an experience of EFT.
